Akash Deep and Travis Head were involved in a funny exchange early on Day 5 (Wednesday, December 18) of the third IND vs AUS Test in the Border-Gavaskar series Test at The Gabba in Brisbane. Akash Deep apologized to Travis Head after defending a flighted delivery from Nathan Lyon, unintentionally causing a funny misunderstanding.

Akash and Bumrah resumed India’s innings on Day 5 from the overnight score of 252-9. While Pat Cummins bowled the final delivery of the incomplete over, Nathan Lyon bowled the first over of the day. The humorous exchange between Akash and Head occurred when Lyon bowled a flighted delivery, and Akash defended it by pushing his leg out, causing the ball to get stuck on his pad. Instead of handing the ball back to Travis Head, who was nearby, Akash dropped it in front of him on the ground.  The action left Head irked, who had to bend to get hold of the ball after he motioned for the ball, prompting Akash to realize his mistake. He quickly apologized, saying "Sorry, sorry!" with a sheepish grin, which helped ease the tension and turned the awkward moment into a lighthearted exchange between the two players.

Travis Head, Akash Deep Shine In Brisbane

Both Akash Deep and Travis Head made a massive impact in the rain-marred IND vs AUS 3rd Test. Travis Head played a pivotal role in Australia’s strong position, scoring a brilliant 152 runs off just 160 balls in the first innings.

Akash Deep, on the other hand, played a crucial 31-run knock off 44 balls to help India avoid follow-on and finish with 260 in their first innings.
